Pushchair Shed - January part two

[Maclaren]

Gosh that filled up quick

Hope you all had a nice day been to the MIL they have the heating up so high I always feel sleepy lol!

My double mb came by parcels2go with no probs

rusmum depends if any acc's with it? luna's are £120 at m&p atm, but then you have to buy the liner if you want that etc.

Don't know yet Nicola, going to pick it up tomorrow fingers crossed its in good nick! lol

Sorry to interupt your thread but I thought this was the quickest place to get an answer to a pushchair question! My LO (27 weeks) has a very bad chesty cough/cold at the moment and when lain down flat gets all blocked up and wakes himself up. We propped one end of his cot up and he has been fine but tonight we are not at home and are not able to prop the cot we have up on a slant. My question is would it be safe for him to sleep in the pushchair overnight where he won't be completely flat and therefore can breath!
It's a Maclaren XLR, of course we would do up the safety straps (Yes he is my PFB )
thanks

libra i personally wouldnt put my dd in a pushchair overnight. The only thing i can think off is maybe a pillow under whatever your ds is sleeping in so slight incline

libra. - is this a joke??

dont leave your baby overnight in a pushchair.

oh goodness libra i had my baby sleep in all kinds of places as a newborn im not sure at nearly 6m? is he sleeping in a travel cot? if it has a mattress can you prop that?

right another watcher on the xt...is it one of you guys

hows the forest going elmo?

try those herbal decongestive capsules you get in chemist (or even 24 hr supermarket will have them for tonight)

none of the 2 bidders has even bothered to reply with any sort of reaction. that makes me if they are not interested at least decline, save me checking every 2 seconds.

Libra it might be worth asking on general chat as im honestly not sure what you can do as never had to do it im afraid

dp says 5mls of medised will do the trick?!!

i know it pissed me off elmo when i had the same last night, it was a completely different buyer in the end who offered the £85.

sal1309 - we have tried that a slight incline doesn't work and the travel cot we have is the samsonite bubble one which doesn't lend itself to being inclined very much as the mattress is not rigid.

nicolamumof3 - thanks for that but we have given him calpol already.

I don't mean upright in a pushchair but that middle ground. He sleeps like that quite happily during the day for an hour or 2.

thanks to all those who have suggested things

libra - but he will be woken all night by banging his limbs against side of pushchair. be just as unsettled as coughing.

can you imagine having to sleep strapped to a seat???? i've had a nap on a seat through day and in car myself. but i cant imagine spending all night sleeping on a seat. so wouldn't inflict that on my lo.

Techno, are you around? Lady asking advice about TH kolcraft?????

agree elmo its not as comfortable as a bed. would only let baby sleep in proper pramwith a mattress overnight.

Would put something under cot to keep it rigid like a board and then prop up on books under one end or something. Towel over radiator? Vicks for babies? Karvol?

elmo - well i'd imagine it would be like sleeping on a plane in business class and so far he has been happily asleep for 3 hours but I have been awake and keeping an eye on him. I am not trying to inflict anything on him usually he would be in his travel cot, he is finding that uncomfortable and I am trying to find a solution so he sleeps better.

pushchair - how does the towel over radiator work? (not that I can use that as we have vents here!)

karvol - thats the decogestant stuff i was thinking off.

as for a plane?? big difference between business class reclining seats and some plastic covered fabric with a padded liner that xlr provides.

but it's your baby. only 1 night i assume. you do what you thinks best. mother knows best as the say.

i would think pushchair means damp towel to humidify air?

that plastic covered fabric has a sheepskin and a buggysnuggle on it which actually I think would be more comfortable than his usual samsonite travel cot mattress. But that's not the point, the whole point is mother doesn't know best, I don't know if there are some dangers of leaving a baby to sleep overnight in a pushchair which is why I am asking here. I don't mind constructive advice such as karvol what I do mind are insinuations I am trying to punish my child for no good reason.

Yes.

P&T q - do Sport covers fit on an E3?
